Overview

  • Product name

    Anti-KAP1 antibody [EPR5249]
    See all KAP1 primary antibodies
  • Description

    Rabbit monoclonal [EPR5249] to KAP1
  • Host species

    Rabbit
  • Specificity

    Although the immunogen is from a phosphor-peptide, this antibody detects phospho and non-phospho KAP1. Based on a peptide blocking experiment it has been found that the signal generated after non-phospho peptide blocking became much weaker, thus indicating that ab109545 shows cross-reactivity with the non-phospho KAP1 at high level.
  • Tested applications

    Suitable for: Flow Cyt (Intra), IP, WB, IHC-P, ICC/IFmore details

Target

  • Function

    Nuclear corepressor for KRAB domain-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs). Mediates gene silencing by recruiting CHD3, a subunit of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation (NuRD) complex, and SETDB1 (which specifically methylates histone H3 at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me)) to the promoter regions of KRAB target genes. Enhances transcriptional repression by coordinating the increase in H3K9me, the decrease in histone H3 'Lys-9 and 'Lys-14' acetylation (H3K9ac and H3K14ac, respectively) and the disposition of HP1 proteins to silence gene expression. Recruitment of SETDB1 induces heterochromatinization. May play a role as a coactivator for CEBPB and NR3C1 in the transcriptional activation of ORM1. Also corepressor for ERBB4. Inhibits E2F1 activity by stimulating E2F1-HDAC1 complex formation and inhibiting E2F1 acetylation. May serve as a partial backup to prevent E2F1-mediated apoptosis in the absence of RB1. Important regulator of CDKN1A/p21(CIP1). Has E3 SUMO-protein ligase activity toward itself via its PHD-type zinc finger.
  • Tissue specificity

    Expressed in all tissues tested including spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and peripheral blood leukocytes.
  • Pathway

    Protein modification; protein sumoylation.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the TRIM/RBCC family.
    Contains 2 B box-type zinc fingers.
    Contains 1 bromo domain.
    Contains 1 PHD-type zinc finger.
    Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.
  • Domain

    The HP1 box is both necessary and sufficient for HP1 binding.
    The PHD-type zinc finger enhances CEBPB transcriptional activity. The PHD-type zinc finger, the HP1 box and the bromo domain, function together to assemble the machinery required for repression of KRAB domain-containing proteins. Acts as an intramolecular SUMO E3 ligase for autosumoylation of bromodomain.
    The RING-finger-B Box-coiled-coil/tripartite motif (RBCC/TRIM motif) is required for interaction with the KRAB domain of KRAB-zinc finger proteins. Binds four zinc ions per molecule. The RING finger and the N-terminal of the leucine zipper alpha helical coiled-coil region of RBCC are required for oligomerization.
    Contains one Pro-Xaa-Val-Xaa-Leu (PxVxL) motif, which is required for interaction with chromoshadow domains. This motif requires additional residues -7, -6, +4 and +5 of the central Val which contact the chromoshadow domain.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. ATM-induced phosphorylation on Ser-824 represses sumoylation leading to the de-repression of expression of a subset of genes involved in cell cycle control and apoptosis in response to genotoxic stress. Dephosphorylation by the phosphatases, PPP1CA and PP1CB forms, allows sumoylation and expression of TRIM28 target genes.
    Sumoylation/desumoylation events regulate TRIM28-mediated transcriptional repression. Sumoylation is required for interaction with CHD3 and SETDB1 and the corepressor activity. Represses and is repressed by Ser-824 phosphorylation. Enhances the TRIM28 corepressor activity, inhibiting transcriptional activity of a number of genes including GADD45A and CDKN1A/p21. Lys-554, Lys-779 and Lys-804 are the major sites of sumoylation. In response to Dox-induced DNA damage, enhanced phosphorylation on Ser-824 prevents sumoylation and allows de-repression of CDKN1A/p21.

    Question



    Inquiry: I am running Western blots with rat brain samples using ZFP47 antibody (ab45341), as well as KAP1 antibody (ab22553) and pS473-KAP1 antibody (ab109545). I wonder whether these antibodies have been tested for their specificity (e.g. using knockout/knockdown tissues, using tissues known to not express these proteins). Thank you!

    Answer

    Thank you for your kind reminder.

    As I have mentioned in my previous e-mail (sent Thu 21 Jun 12 ·11:32) we could offer some alternative antibodies for you. If you can use phospho specific anti KAP1 antibody other than S473 then we can certainly offer any of these to try ab133225 or ab70369 or ab84077.

    If you wish otherwise, I could arrange a full refund for you.

    Could you please get back to me and let me know how you wish to proceed.

    Question

    We normally block PVDF membranes with non-fat milk, but the incubation with the phosphospecific antibody is done in 5% BSA (as written below). This protocol has consistently worked for all phosphospecific antibodies we have used so far (see our publications).

    On a few occasions in the past we tried blocking membranes with BSA, but the background was unacceptably high with phosphospecific antibodies.

    My impression with your anti-KAP1-pS473 antibody is that it hasn’t been properly purified, as it reacts with total KAP1 but not with pS473.

    Best regards

    Answer

    Thank you for your response and patience.

    I have been discussing this enquiry with my colleagues in the lab. Could you please confirm if you have tried our positive control treatment, Lambda Phosphatase?

    I understand that radiation also works based on the literature. I attached a dot blot to show phospho specificity. “N-P” stands for the control peptide and “P” for the phospho peptide. Please let me know if you have any questions.

    I hope this helps and if I can assist further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Question

    We have recently bought (through the local distributor) the Anti-KAP1 (phospho S473) antibody ab109545 LOT: GR54755-3 that when tested on western blots of lysates from human cells treated or untreated with radiation shows a band of the correct MW but whose levels do not change with treatment (see attached). We believe that the antibody in NOT recognizing S473 phosphorylation, but only total KAP1.
    According to previously published data, KAP1 S473 phosphorylation occurs only after treatment of cells with genotoxic stress, such as ionizing radiation ( see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22491012 Lee DH, et al, EMBO J. 2012 Apr 10. doi: 10.1038/emboj.2012.86. )
    I would appreciate if you could send a replacement antibody of a different lot and after you checked it works as expected.

    Please find attached the completed form.

    I draw your attention on our longstanding technical expertise in the analysis of phosphorylated proteins from DNA damage cells (see papers listed below).


    1) Abcam product code ab: 109545

    2) Abcam order reference number or product batch number: GR54755-3

    Fluorochrome or enzyme conjugate: HRP

    8) Washing after primary and secondary antibodies Buffer: 1XPBS Tween (0.1%)

    Number of washes: 3 washes, 10 minutes each

    9) Detection method: ECL

    10) How many times have you run this staining? 3 Times

    Do you obtain the same results every time? YES

    What steps have you altered to try and optimize the use of this antibody? Cell lines, antibody dilution and treatments with different DNA damaging agents

    Document attachment: Attaching images of your blot is strongly recommended and can greatly speed up our investigation of your problem.

    Answer

    Thank you for your enquiry regarding ab109545 and for taking the time to provide some useful details of the experiments. I am very sorry to hear that you are having problems with this antibody.

    I would like to reassure you that our Abpromise applies to your complaint since you purchased this product within the guarantee period. This means that in the event that a product is not functioning in the applications/species cited on the product data sheet (and the problem has been reported within 6 months of purchase) we will happily offer a credit note/refund to the value of the product purchased.

    The protocol looks fine to me. There is only one thing I would like to comment on is the blocking:

    For detection of phospho protein, we would suggest using 3% BSA solution - as blocking agent - rather than milk. Milk may lead to significant decrease or loss of signal intensity due to reaction of primary antibody with blocking/diluting agent.

    Have you used this antibody before? Could you please confirm it?

    Thank you for your understanding and co-operation in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you and hope to solve this problem as soon as possible.
